How to Melt Candy Melts (4 Steps)
Make your own candy lollipops and create holiday candy shapes for edible gifts by melting candy melts. Candy melts are fast-melting, confectionery wafers. Once melted, the candy develops a smooth texture and taste, making it ideal for creating your own molded candy shapes and lollipops. You can enhance the flavor by adding a couple drops of cherry or peppermint into the melted mixture and change the colors from white to any color you prefer with the addition of food coloring.
Things You'll Need
- Double boiler
- Mold
Instructions
-
Add water to the bottom of a double boiler pan until it reaches the indicated level marker for the top pan. Place it on the stove.
-
Rinse the top pan, and dry it thoroughly. Empty one 14-oz. bag of the candy melts into the top pan. Set this pan in the bottom pan.
-
Turn the heat on low. Allow the candy to melt, stirring it occasionally.
-
Remove the pot from the stove once the candy has become a smooth liquid. Read the manufacturer's directions to determine whether the melted candy may be immediately poured into the mold or requires a short cooling period. Confirm that melted candy may be reheated without affecting the texture.
